PismoBeach #1409 was well representedand well received. Thank you allfor attending. When talking tofellow Moose members about ourrespective Lodges, I realize howgood we have it here in Pismo.I think sometimes we losesight how great our Lodge is. Yeswe have issues, like every Lodgehas, but our issues are nothingcompared to losing your Lodge dueto low membership, financialproblems, or even a catastrophicfire. So thank you all for keepingour Lodge strong by volunteering,patronizing, donating and caring;it’s for our children at Mooseheartand our seniors at Moosehaven.Pismo Beach Moose Lodgewill be hosting the district Legionceremony on the 7th and districtmeeting on the 20th.

I haveenjoyed serving as the Pismo BeachChapter Senior Regent. I have learnedso many things in this past year and takepride in this family fraternity that I am amember of.I’ve been thinking long and hardabout what I might like to say or share inthis month’s address and upon the returnfrom the Cal/Nevada Convention inReno I feel there are a few importantthings to touch on.First, please always remember weare a FAMILY fraternity. Remember totreat one another with respect anddignity. Remember that we are aboutserving and supporting Mooseheart,Moosehaven, and our community as wellas each other. Second, there are manychapters and lodges that have shut downor are in jeopardy of doing do becausethey have lost sight of these things. Weare over 1700 strong as a chapter and weshould all be coming together to make adifference. I enjoy coming and havingcocktails, socializing, and having a greattime just like many of you but what Idon’t want to see is that we forget aboutthe bigger picture of this wonderfulfraternity that we belong to. Ladies, Imay not be Senior Regent this next yearbut I can’t begin to stress and encourageeach of you to come and be a part of thebigger picture.Thank you again to all who servedwith me on the board and to all of myCommittee Chairman as well as to thosewho took time to volunteer in anycapacity this last year.
